Instructions for step-by-step setup of the Yota Internet center

The Internet has become a part of almost all people's lives. With its help you can not only work, but also study or have fun. More and more people are using a wireless connection to access the Internet. This is convenient and does not require the use of any wires other than the provider cable. There are currently a huge number of providers.

One of the youngest was Iota. To access high-speed Internet, subscribers of this mobile operator use modems. This solution is ideal for one person. If you need to provide a network to several people, then the right solution would be to use the Yota Internet center. This review article will tell you what the Yota B315 Internet center is, what its characteristics are and how to connect it.

Features of the Internet center

The stationary Internet center from Yota is a powerful modem and a full-fledged router in one “person”. It is used for home and local Internet connections. The device has the ability to multi-user connect to the global network, which means that more than one user can connect to it at the same time. The speed will remain the same.

Important! The appearance of the device fully corresponds to the appearance of classic routers or modems: it is flat, rectangular and contains on its body various LEDs and ports for local connection, IP telephony connections, a SIM card connector, a power input and a “Reset” button for completely rebooting the router "

Iota mostly uses devices that are not of its own production. Most often these are Gemtek devices. Their feature is the high power of signal transmission, and it does not matter whether the transmission occurs wirelessly or via a LAN cable. Another feature was the ease of setting it up, as well as the ability to connect devices for IP telephony (two devices with two different numbers).

Advantages and disadvantages

What are the differences between 3G and 4G networks: features, advantages and disadvantages

Any device has pros and cons. They depend not only on appearance, but also on quality and technical characteristics. This is where Internet Center-Iota succeeds. Its main advantages can be listed separately:

• Connect up to 12 devices, ten of which are wireless, and two are wired, connected via local cable;
• Supports all modern standards of the Wifi wireless communication protocol;
• Relatively low price for such rich functionality;
• Small body dimensions and light weight;
• Possibility of connecting devices for IP telephony.

It is also not without its disadvantages. Some may still be confused by the price, while others are unlikely to configure the device themselves and will be able to go to its web configurator. Another disadvantage can be voiced more concerning the operator - he never notifies about technical work, which is carried out according to an incomprehensible schedule.

Connecting the router and going to the web interface

Before setting up, you need to connect the router. To do this, any of the two LAN connectors is connected to the network card of a personal computer or laptop using a patch cord type cable.

After this, the computer is configured to automatically distribute IP addresses and DNS servers. To do this you need:

• Go to the Control Panel in any known way;
• Find the item “Network and Sharing Center” there;
• It will indicate the current connection if it is active. In this window on the left you need to select the “Change adapter settings” link;
• In it, select the desired connection and right-click on it. A context menu window will appear in which you select the “Properties” item;
• In the Network tab, select the “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS servers automatically” options.

Important! Only after this can the router or Internet center be connected to the network using a power adapter. The computer should be restarted after changing the settings.

After the computer has booted, you should go to any browser and enter the address 10.0.0.1 in the search bar.

Default password

To enter the settings web interface, you need to enter the following input data: login - admin, password - admin. These authentication credentials are standard and are the default login and password. They are also indicated on the back cover of the device or on its label. You should always check them to avoid misunderstandings. If the router was purchased secondhand, then the reset button, which is located on the back of the device next to the other sockets, will help you return these parameters. You can also do a reset in the web interface.

It contains the fields Operating mode - “Router”, connection setup - “DHCP”. After these steps, click the “Apply” save button. You can check the network status in the “Information” tab and on the main “4G Network (LTE)” tab. There can be several states: when there is no connection, when it is connected and when it is searching for a connection. You can check the connected status by looking at the LEDs on the case and the signal level on the front panel.

What to do if the Internet center from Yota does not work?

There can be many reasons why the Internet center does not work. Most often these are problems on the operator's side. To clarify this, you can call the toll-free support number 8 (800) 550-000-007 and ask a question. This can also be done on the official website in the technical support section www.yota.ru/support.

Another problem is that the SIM card inserted into the device is not activated. To activate, you should reboot the router immediately after installing the SIM card. Also, after these steps, download and install the Yota online application and log in to your personal account. After these steps, activation is completed and problems with the Internet should disappear. Also, after incorrect unlocking or repair, the router may break.

Important! Sometimes failures also occur in the router settings, namely in the distribution of IP addresses by the DHCP server. Checking the correctness of its operation can be done in the “Status” tab of the web settings. If the DHCP option is “disabled” or “no,” then this is a reason to call support.

How to contact Yota support via online chat on the official website

If you don’t have time to make calls to the Yota hotline, you can always use the online support chat, available on the official website to absolutely all visitors. Naturally, the service is offered completely free of charge. To enable an operator in text chat mode, you must do the following:

• Go to the website yota.ru.
• Select the region in which you use the operator's services.
• In the main menu, go to the “Support” section.
• Select which specific services you use: a modem/router or a smartphone/tablet with an operator SIM card.
• On the next page, pay attention to the side control panel, where you will find the “Contact Chat” button. It is located in the subcategory “Didn’t find the answer?”.

Yota help chat for smartphone or tablet users is here, and for modems and routers here;

• Fill out the required fields, including your name, the nature of the question, and state your problem and question in as much detail as possible in the last data entry field.
• Click the button to contact a specialist.
• After some time, a Yota specialist will join the chat, who will provide answers to all questions asked and help with solving possible problems.

It is worth noting that this method, although in some cases more convenient than calling a hotline phone number, can also take a lot of time, since online chat specialists do not always provide answers promptly.
